Things That Annoy You

The only outside bathtub I like is the one in the great tv show "The Fall Guy" because I imagined bathing with Heather Thomas in it. No Viagra or Cyallis would be needed. (And one of the best theme songs.)

It's funny that you post that scene from Blazing Saddles not only because it's funny but because out of all the Bellgabbers you're the only one I know who speaks authentic frontier gibberish. I try to keep up sometimes but you are the true master, dagblumb it!

I'm the ideal fast-food patron.  I order simple things, no special orders ever.  I annunciate clearly.  I review that they received the order correctly.  I'm patient.  I'm polite.  I give exact change. 

And they still friggin mess up my order like every other time. 

The one exception is In-n-Out who always has great quality control.  Other than that, I think I'm going back to making everything at home. 

But frig I'm lazy sometimes.  Isn't that ok, isn't that the American Dream to sometimes, say after a hard day's work, to just friggin outsource your damn taco?

While those are all very annoying that fucking peanut butter cup one always gets me. Come on, guys! Would it kill you to drop another half a teaspoon of chocolate on that to insure cup integrity?!  :

The inability of women to answer yes or no questions with a "yes" or "no."

Women, in general, avoid conflict when it isn't already present.  This finds expression in their avoidance of bold expressions, such as answering "yes" or "no" to a simple question.  Too challenging, you see.  Might hurt the other person's feeling to speak so directly.

So instead, they give you a 90 second long answer.  A good answer, informative, even useful.  But not an answer that contains a "yes" or a "no," or even helps to determine if the correct answer is "yes" or "no."

One example out of thousands: last night I went to pick up a specialty pizza, and a pasta meal.  There was a box of pizza, a bag marked "pasta", and another unmarked bag.  This conversation happened, more or less verbatim:

ME:  Does this bag go with the pasta?

CASHIER:  This bag is the pasta (points at the bag marked "PASTA" in large letters) and this bag (points at the unmarked bag) are vegetables.

ME:  But does the stuff in the bag go with the pasta?

CASHIER:  Those are the toppings, sir.

ME:  So the stuff in this bag goes with the pizza?

CASHIER:  This bag (cups it in two hands) is the vegetables.  This bag...(cups)...

ME:  ...Is the pasta.  What I want to know is, (picks up megaphone and shouts into cashier's ear) IS THIS BAG FOR THE PASTA?

CASHIER:  This bag is pasta, and this bag is vegetables.

ME:  Bang (commits suicide with large caliber handgun).

Ladies, can you do us menfolk a solid, and answer the fucking question first?  "Yes" or "No."  Then, if you feel like expounding on that answer, you can talk for as long as you want.  We'll just nod our heads and smile and think "Who fucking cares" just like we do when you tell us about that bitch at work who looked at you sideways and ruined your day.

You're missing the point. That would've denied her the opportunity to feel superior to you, you pathetic creature. He just doesn't get it.  :

Damn I hate that.  Almost as much as that little drop of glue on the DQ cone (they actually say it's corn syrup, but it still annoys me on general principle.)

Along those same lines--is this.
People will not ask a question anymore-they will phrase a query in a declaratory manner.

Eg: You don't have Avocados" , " I don't see the Kale Salad"
"You must be out of Quinoa"
No questioning uplift tone.  People seem to think that if they have to ask for something it puts them in the submissive position or something.

Similar to "TheOne"'s Larger animal/smaller animal thing I guess.

I blame you. This is how that conversation should have gone.

At this point you hand her the cash, grab the 3 items and go. She probably thought you were slow.

Well, crap... 2 days ago, a good friend (who is a legit psychic) calls and tells me that I need to watch the weather because she saw me flying like Dorothy in the wizard of OZ.... I've known her since we were 12 and I believe in her gift... My weather radio just went off so looking to my west, there are tornadoes coming. Wish me luck..."Auntie Em! Auntie Em!? When it's our time, it's our time, I'm going to bed..

Since was Jesus Christ one name?

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Since was Jesus Christ one name?

It's a common misconception -- amongst Christians!! -- that Jesus' "last name" is Christ.  It's not, it's a title.  "Christ" means "[The] Anointed [One]," or Messiah.  See, for example, John 11:27 ("You are the Christ...").  Paul often referred to him as Christ Jesus or simply Christ.   

It's a fabulous example of how ignorant Christians are about their own god and religion.

hey, they really do that?


I almost, almost hated them after that testimonial, I am glad I did not run over your brother/uncle/gan-pappee yesterday when the dander was apparently got up as a show-off for the lady types.

I digress...

Story at 11 (am/pm) stand by

ediot: I watched the story in question;  apparently is was just some squirrel in the midst of his "must" having a bit of derring-do for the ladies, the friend he was "showing up" apparently was part&parcel to the whole affair, and shared in the adreninalen(sp) rush.  Camera crews and everything were dispatched, what a humorous anecdotal waste of resources.  More on that story at 9pm/am... {sidenote b4 cmrdral-breaklolbreak}

Thanks! Have another chance right now, alarm just went off again... ahh, springtime in Texas...
